should be.
Also I must warn you this video will contain spoilers, so if you don't want your Pokemon
dreams ruined just bookmark this video and watch after you see the movie.
With that out of the way lets jump into today's list of the Top 10 Detective Pikachu Easter
Eggs You Missed.
#10 Legendary Pokemon The main antagonist for the film is a man
named Howard Clifford and he pretty much runs Rhyme City after he convinced its citizens
to live harmoniously with Pokemon.
When Tim is brought to Howards office by a woman who looks very similar to Jessie from
Team Rocket but later turns out to be a ditto we get a ton of easter eggs.
Surrounding Howards desk are three legendary Pokemon, theres Arceus in the center, Dialga
to the left and Palkia to the right.
Arceus is essentially the God of Pokemon Universe.
Dialga is a member of the creation trio of Sinnoh and represents time.
Palkia is also a member of that group and represents space.
#9 Evolution Stones When Tim and Pikachu enter Howard's office
an Eevee is on top of the desk and in a glowing fashion, we watch it evolve into a Flareon
as it casually walks by them.
Missed by many will be the other evolution stones that Howard has in his possession.
One of the stones appears to be a Water Stone, which can be used to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon,
while the second stone seems to be an Ice Stone that can be used to evolve an Alolan
Vulpix into Ninetales.
The third stone is a little more vague, but my guess is that it's either a Shiny Stone
or a piece of Old Amber, which isn't an Evolutionary Item but can be used to clone Aerodactyl in
the games.
However, it could also be a Kings Rock which is used to evolve a Poliwhirl into Politoed
and causes Slowpoke to evolve into Slowking.
#8 Trainer Red At the beginning of the movie when Tim is
traveling to Rhyme City to find out what happened to his father a promotional video for the
city begins to play.
In the video, it shows how they would battle with Pokemon.
One thing to be highlighted here is the clear depiction of Trainer Red at the Colleseum.
Red is known as the Champion from Pallet Town, as well as the living legend for his defeat
of Team Rocket in Kanto during his quest.
It’s a nice quick nod to the legendary trainer and hopefully is setting up his story for
future films.
#7 Original Songs When Tim and Pikachu go there separate ways
after Pikachu believes he had betrayed Tims father we see him walking alone down a road
to the scene of the crash as he sings the song Pokemon Theme also known as Gotta Catch
Em All written by John Siegler and John Loeffler and performed by Jason Paige except in Detective
Pikachu its sung by Ryan Reynolds.
It was the theme song for the first season of the English adaptation of the Pokemon anime.
#6 Seinfeld Throughout the film, Lucys Psyduck is doing
its best to keep those headaches under control.
Pikachu pokes fun at the duck several times saying that its like sitting next to a ticking
time bomb ) In order to calm Psyduck down, Pikachu reluctantly rubs its feet while telling
it to say - serenity now - which is a reference to the Seinfeld episode called The Serenity
Now where Georges dad is told to say that whenever he feels his blood pressure is too
high.
#5 Detective Yoshida His very name can be considered an easter
egg.
I believe this detective was named after Hironobu Yoshida who is a graphic designer thats been
involved with several aspects of the Pokemon franchise since its inception.
Ever since Pokemon Yellow in 1997, Yoshida has had a hand in the development of the majority
of main series Pokemon games, both as a graphic and Pokemon designer.
#4 Mewtwo in Kanto The Mewtwo in this film is the same one that
you can catch at the end of Pokemon Red and Blue.
The Kanto Region is also mentioned by the scientist when they’re searching for Mewtwo.
They say that it was last seen 20 years ago in the Kanto Region.
This is a reference to the first Pokemon movie titled - Pokemon The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes
Back, which was released in Japan on July 18, 1998, and November 10, 1999, in North
America.
The Kanto Region can also be a reference to the setting of Pokemon Red and Blue released
in 1996.
#3 Tims Shirt At the beginning of the movie Tim is wearing
a shirt that seemingly looks like a Pokeball.
However, if you look closely its actually an unown that spells the letter H and then
later on his shirt changes slightly to show another unown that spells the letter O. Help
is the word associated with the Unown letter H in Neo Destiny 28, and Heal in Great Encounters
29.
Observe is the word associated with the Unown letter O in Neo Discovery 69 and One in Secret
Wonders 70.
Either they were trying to sneak us a message or were the directors dropping easter eggs
for Ho-Oh fans?
#2 Fight Night Although its just a poster in the scene where
an angry Jigglypuff is singing a man to sleep it actually contains more.
It says fight next week which foreshadowed the underground Pokemon battles that were
going on in Rhyme city.
Its also important to mention that the Primeape on the poster has significance.
It was the 8th Pokemon that Ash caught in the Kanto Region, making his total number
of Pokemon come to 9.
Theres also a 3 and 6 on the poster itself, add that up and you get 9
#1 Team Rocket Although not confirmed its pretty suspect
that when Tim and Pikachu discover a vile of this mysterious purple gas its labeled
with just the letter R on the bottle and is referred to as the R stuff.
Plus hints of team rocket remnants and foreshadowing are scattered throughout the film.
For starters, the antagonist uses ditto to fool everyone as it transforms into a woman
who looks very similar to Jessie.
Plus he’s in charge of this secret lab that's been experimenting on Pokemon which goes along
the same storylines of what Team Rocket was up to.
Perhaps because its in the future its a version inspired by them or a continuation of a secret
Team Rocket association.
And that has been the Top 10 Detective Pikachu Easter Eggs You Missed.
